does the blade lock in place?

Yes it does, I got it for my boyfriend last year for Christmas and it is an assisted open knife and locks when opened. You have to push in a metal piece to close it.

Yes, the blade does lock in place, and the spring assist works great. Overall, it's a great knife.

Yes it locks in place and does have a safety, however the first blade I ordered blade won't flip out and in a result of that I had to buy a whole new knife because the previous one has broke.

Yes it locks in place very well. With mine it had a slight error where twice it locked a little too well and wouldn't shut.

Yes, and there is no wiggle to the blade once open. I have had one as my EDC and so far so good. For the price you can not go wrong.

Yes, the knife locks in the open position, the release in where the blade was, it is easy to open and close one handed while also the lock works exteremly well. This knife was my most trusted tools while on deployment, and was able to handle everything we through at it.

Yes. The lock is the dark slider at the right end of the knife in the illustration. It is spring loaded, and unlocks only when the slider is pushed forward or backward. As long as no pressure is applied in either direction, the blade is immobilized, and cannot move.

inside the handle, where the blade is stored when closed, there is a piece of metal that springs into place to lock the blade in. Using your thumb, push the spring out of the way of the blade, then the blade should be able to rotate to the closed position. once the blade moves the spring does not need to be held open.

No it doesn't. To change blades one needs to place the blade on a block of wood (or similar) to stop it from rotating. However, if one doesn't need to change blades often, that shouldn't be a major issue.

I haven't had to mis use the knife so I couldn't say. But I am very happy with it. It feels to me that it stays locked if mine were to come unlocked then I Shirley was misusing it. I carry mine everyday

Hello, if turned upside down... Yes, this knife has a secure locking feature. It actually has two closing locks. Plus it comes with 550 para cord, that can always be used as a third locking feature. This knife is huge! Very well made. It comes kind of dull. I have used a pocket sharpener, and now she's razor sharp. In my opinion... It's well worth the price! Hope this helps.

It depends on what you mean by "lock" in place. It more "clicks" into two places, one at about 90º, and another one at about 180º. None of the blades really "lock" in place where you need to press a release mechanism to fold them back up, but they do pretty firmly stay in place with a positive click. I hope that answers that for you.

It's incredibly solid. The blade will not be deployed unless The thumb hole or release is deployed. The lock up is one of the strongest lock ups of the blades I own. I would definitely suggest this blade for any blade lover.

No, at first it is a little tough to do until it gets worn down, but if you turn the open blade towards yourself and look at the handle, there is a piece that is oblique in there. Push the top of that piece so it is straight up and when that piece is straight up you can close the blade. That is the locking system. Simple, but proven effective. It'll get easier and easier to close.

Sorry, no. The blade is molded in place. However, it is very hard series 400, medical grade stainless steel, and should last a long time.

Its what is called a liner lock. If you look where the blade folds in you will see a thin metal piece that locks the blade open. Push it to the side and the blade should unlock

Yes the blade locks..... unfortunately the blade lock goes to far and now it won't close anymore.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

No, they do not. It's a good solid knife and I've had no problem with the blades closing unexpectedly, but they do NOT lock.

Yes it does and the lock is strong and dependable, has two thumb tabs to speed deployment of blade also

No. There is a small slider on the outside opposite the clip that you have to slide up to unlock the blade for closing. You can see it in the product picture.
